I found a 16-inch Windows laptop that’s a worthy MacBook Pro alternative (and it looks like one, too)

The Geekom X16 Pro is a lightweight 16-inch laptop priced just over ,300, weighing 2.87 pounds. It is powered by either an Intel Core U9-185H or U5-125H with Arc graphics and an integrated NPU. The laptop features a 16:10 IPS display with a 2.5K resolution, 100% sRGB coverage, a 120Hz refresh rate, and brightness levels up to 400 nits. It runs Windows 11, although the setup process is lengthy. Performance tests showed efficient handling of local AI tasks, quick downloads, and smooth operation for tasks like video playback, browsing, and running applications such as GIMP and LibreOffice. The Geekom X16 Pro offers good value for its specifications, including an Intel Core Ultra 9 CPU, 32GB of RAM, and 2TB of storage.
